Welcome

Never before in the history of this nation have so many been so apathetic about the freedoms and liberties bestowed upon them today by the blood and sacrifice of those before them.

Far too many today think of "tyranny" as being something only wielded by Kings and Queens of old or dictators in far away lands.

Yet tyranny comes in many forms, not the least of which is a central government that places its wants, its needs above the rights and liberties of the common citizen.

The meme of the legacy print media, the broadcast networks and the professional political class is that the Tea Party and anyone who dare associate with such is so "far right", "extreme", and "radical" they must be ridiculed, viled, and slandered at every opportunity else a modern American apocalypse is imminent.

And at this moment in history with pop culture being what it is, an educational system promoting ignorance over achievement, and economic conditions at their worst since the Great Depression, the number of minds susceptible to such propaganda has never been larger.

But who represents the true "radical", "extreme" "un-American" position?

The group that is fighting to revitalize the Constitution, raise awareness of the founding principles that birthed that Constitution, and protect the rights and liberties bestowed therein or a minority ruling establishment that desires only the continuance of its power and influence at all cost?

If you're of the former, WELCOME. You'll find yourself right at home here.

If you're of the latter, welcome as well. Yes, you're going to feel a little uncomfortable at first, but give it some time.

Drowning in debt, the left still wants more

With our nation drowning in debt, the far left’s only answer is to demand more.

I was going to open the Corner today with another example of how far the anti-God crowd has tilted over to the looney side of the fence (this time in the military) but then I had the video to the left waiting in my inbox (h/t Steve Roark, Circle R Ranch) and read the daily dribble from our local village idiot whining that we just aren’t raising enough revenue to supply Obama’s higher and higher appetite for spending.

Dwainbwain takes the Globe to task for it’s Sunday editorial “Get Serious” which explained that no matter all the rhetoric floating around the air waves these days, neither the GOP plans nor Obama’s seriously tackle our debt crisis.

Of course Dwain’s dribble only focuses on the “receipt” side as the problem and treats Obama’s 24 to 25 percent of GDP spending as a needed norm. Which is why this November is so important.

Obama and his minions are so ignorant of economic reality that they see absolutely no problem with a federal government eating up a full quarter of our GDP. Hell, truth be known they’d go for more if they could get it.

If ten percent is good enough for God why do libs continue to want 20, 25, 30 and even higher? It surely couldn’t be because it’s a lot more expensive to replace personal morality, charity and responsibility with government bureaucracy than they thought could it?

Any reasonable person knows the policies of the left just don’t work. Any reasonable person would admit that and look for ways to compromise with conservatives and move the country forward so ALL, poor and not so poor benefit as a whole. Yet no one ever accused the perpetual minority of being reasonable so here we are, stuck with historic deficits and debt, historically high gas prices, food costs going up daily and all the dwainbwains can do is whine that the government isn’t taking MORE!

The Globe editorial had it right, especially in the closing:

Cutting taxes is the right medicine, if for no other reason than to keep it out of the hands of the spending junkies in Washington. Still, that won’t be enough — deep cuts are called for, too. But don’t count on that happening without fundamental change in the vision the American people have for their federal government, and for themselves.

One Response to Drowning in debt, the left still wants more

I did not at all like the Sunday editorial in the Globe but have only expressed my specific concerns privately. I also note that Carol was out of town when the edit was written and published.

I have not problem with the title “Get Serious”. But the thrust of the editorial was anti- GOP, not a critique of all government and both parties.

There is not a politician or Party anywhere in America that has any idea first of all to simply eliminate deficit spending, much less reduce our already unsustainable debt. Our only way to reduce debt is the devalue the dollar to make such big numbers, $15 Trillion, meaningless in the future. Call it the post WWI German approach to their huge debt issues. And look what happened after no one could construct large enough wheel barrows to carry the money needed to buy a loaf of bread.
